Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a technique of measuring a voltage of a power storage cell with high accuracy in a power storage module in which a plurality of power storage cells are connected to each other.
- In recent years, as power storage means for storing a large capacity of power, a power storage module in which a plurality of power storage cells are connected to each other has been used. For example, a battery module in which hundreds of lithium ion battery cells are connected in series to each other is mounted in an electric vehicle (EV) or a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and the battery module generates a voltage of hundreds of V so as to drive a motor.
- In a power storage module, it is important to understand a state of charge (SOC) or a state of health (SOH) of a power storage cell with high accuracy. For example, in a case of an on-vehicle application, an SOC is understood with high accuracy, a cruising range of a vehicle can be increased by reducing a margin of residual quantity computation error for a charge amount, or mileage can be improved by reducing a battery weight through reduction of the number of serial connections or parallel connections of power storage cells mounted for a margin of error.
- In order to understand an SOC or an SOH of power storage cells with high accuracy, it is preferable to measure voltages of a plurality of power storage cells and a current flowing therethrough at the same timing with high accuracy.

- According to the aspect, the first ADCs and the first reference voltage portions supplying reference voltages thereto are provided for at least two power storage cells of the power storage module, in order to measure voltages thereof. The voltage value acquirer obtains voltage values of the power storage cells on the basis of the first digital signals output from the first ADCs. The second ADC and the second reference voltage portion supplying a reference voltage thereto are provided to measure reference voltages supplied by the first reference voltage portions, and a reference voltage selected by the selector is supplied to the second ADC as an input. The voltage values of the power storage cells are corrected by the voltage value corrector on the basis of correction data obtained by using the second digital signal output from the second ADC. In other words, since a voltage of the power storage cell measured by the first ADC is corrected on the basis of a measured value of the reference voltage, a voltage of the power storage cell can be obtained with high accuracy even if a reference voltage supplied by the first reference voltage portion has very high accuracy. Since the first ADCs are respectively provided for a plurality of power storage cells, voltage measurement can be performed in parallel, for example, at the same timing. Since the second reference voltage portion may provide a highly accurate reference voltage in order to perform highly accurate measurement, according to the aspect, a circuit scale or the number of trimming work steps during shipment is not increased.
- According to the present disclosure, in the power storage cell control device, it is possible to measure voltages of a plurality of power storage cells of the power storage module at the same timing with high accuracy without increasing a circuit scale or the number of work steps during shipment.

FIG. 7 is a circuit diagram illustrating another configuration example of the power storage cell control device according to the exemplary embodiment. - Prior to description of an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a problem of a device of the related art will be described briefly.
- In the configuration disclosed in
PTL 1, voltages of respective battery cells connected in series to each other are sequentially selected, and are measured by a common ADC. Thus, measurement errors among the battery cells can be reduced, and high measurement accuracy can be achieved by applying a high accurate voltage as a reference voltage for the ADC. - However, on the other hand, in the configuration disclosed in
PTL 1, since the battery cells are sequentially selected, and a voltage is measured, it is hard to perform simultaneous measurement of cell voltages. Particularly, since it is necessary to increase a measurement time for each battery cell regardless of the type of ADC in order to perform highly accurate voltage measurement, in the configuration disclosed inPTL 1, it is harder to perform simultaneous measurement of cell voltages. Conversely, this hinders an SOC or an SOH of a power storage cell from being understood with high accuracy. - Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present specification, a power storage cell may be a cell having a function of storing power, and includes at least a battery cell and a capacitor cell.
-
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a power storage cell control device according to an exemplary embodiment. InFIG. 1 , inpower storage module 1, a plurality ofpower storage cells 1 a (inFIG. 1 , sixteen power storage cells C0 to C15) are connected in series to each other. - The power storage cell control device has a function of measuring a voltage of each of
power storage cells 1 a inpower storage module 1. In the present exemplary embodiment, it is assumed that a lithium ion battery cell is used aspower storage cell 1 a. However, the present exemplary embodiment is applicable to other kinds of power storage cells. - The power storage cell control device includes
ADC group 2 formed of a plurality of first analog-to-digital converters (ADC) 2 a, referencevoltage portion group 3 formed of a plurality of firstreference voltage portions 3 a which are respectively provided to correspond tofirst ADCs 2 a,multiplexer 4 as a selector, andsecond ADC 5. The power storage cell control device also includes secondreference voltage portion 6 which supplies reference potentials VRX+ and VRX− used as a criterion for a conversion operation ofsecond ADC 5,decimation filter 7 forming a voltage value acquirer, andcalibration circuit 8 forming voltage value corrector. Here, secondreference voltage portion 6 is formed of a band gap circuit, a zener diode, or the like, and is adjusted (trimmed) during shipment inspection so as to supply a highly accurate absolute voltage criterion.Ammeter 9 measures current IO flowing throughpower storage module 1. - Each of
first ADCs 2 a ofADC group 2 has a voltage of each ofpower storage cells 1 a as an input inpower storage module 1, and outputs first digital signal S1 corresponding to the input. In the configuration illustrated inFIG. 1 , first ADC 2 a is a delta-sigma type ADC, and first digital signal S1 which is an output thereof is a pulse density modulation (PDM) signal of 1 bit or a plurality of bits.Decimation filter 7 obtains a digital value indicating a voltage ofpower storage cell 1 a on the basis of first digital signal S1 which is a PDM signal. A voltage level of a signal output from eachfirst ADC 2 a is a voltage level of both ends of correspondingpower storage cell 1 a, and thus signal output lines of respectivefirst ADCs 2 a are provided withlevel shifters 12 for matching voltage levels of first digital signals S1 with each other. In the present exemplary embodiment, a common clock signal generated byclock generator 10 is supplied to respectivefirst ADCs 2 a which are thus operated in synchronization with the common clock signal. - Each first
reference voltage portion 3 a of referencevoltage portion group 3 supplies reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− (where n is 0 to 15) used as a criterion for a conversion operation to correspondingfirst ADC 2 a. Potential differences between the reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− corresponding to respectivefirst ADCs 2 a are the same as each other, but voltage levels thereof are set to correspond to voltage levels of anodes of respectivepower storage cells 1 a (or voltage levels thereof are set to correspond to voltage levels ofpower storage cells 1 a). There may be various methods of supplying reference potentials VRn+ and VRn−, and, here, it is assumed that a reference voltage supplied by secondreference voltage portion 6 is transmitted through current and voltage conversion. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a configuration example of referencevoltage portion group 3. InFIG. 2 , eachADC 2 a is provided withfirst reference resistor 31 for supplying reference potentials VRn+ and VRn−. A current is generated by using a highly accurate reference voltage supplied by secondreference voltage portion 6 andsecond reference resistor 32, and the current is distributed viacurrent mirror circuit 33 so as to flow through eachfirst reference resistor 31. Consequently, reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− are generated at both ends offirst reference resistor 31. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a circuit configuration example offirst ADC 2 a and a periphery thereof. InFIG. 3 ,first ADC 2 a is a linear delta-sigma type ADC, and includesoperational amplifier 21 andquantizer 22. As described inFIG. 2 , currents as distribution results obtained by usingcurrent mirror circuit 33 flow throughfirst reference resistors 31, and thus reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− are generated so as to be supplied tofirst ADCs 2 a. - In the configurations illustrated in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , it is hard to obtain highly accurate reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− due to mismatching betweenfirst reference resistor 31 andsecond reference resistor 32 or an error of a current mirror ratio for distributing a current. For example, there may be a method of generating reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− by performing electric charge transmission by using a flying capacitor, but an error inevitably occurs due to mismatching between capacities. However, in the present exemplary embodiment, as will be described later, a voltage measured byfirst ADC 2 a is corrected on the basis of measured values of reference potentials VRn+ and VRn−, and thus a voltage ofpower storage cell 1 a can be obtained with high accuracy even if reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− do not have very high accuracy. - Referring to
FIG. 1 again,multiplexer 4 selects reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− supplied by any one of respective firstreference voltage portions 3 a of referencevoltage portion group 3, and supplies reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− tosecond ADC 5 as an input voltage.Second ADC 5 performs a conversion operation by using highly accurate reference potentials VRX+ and VRX− supplied from secondreference voltage portion 6 as a criterion, and outputs second digital signal S2 corresponding to the input voltage. In other words, second digital signal S2 indicates differences between selected reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− and highly accurate reference potentials VRX+ and VRX−. -
Calibration circuit 8 receives second digital signal S2 output fromsecond ADC 5, and corrects a voltage value ofpower storage cell 1 a obtained bydecimation filter 7 on the basis of correction data obtained from second digital signal S2. For example,calibration circuit 8 obtains a potential difference between reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− selected bymultiplexer 4 on the basis of second digital signal S2. The correction data is obtained on the basis of a difference between the potential difference and a potential difference between highly accurate reference potentials VRX+ and VRX− stored in advance, and is stored. In other words,calibration circuit 8 stores correction data corresponding to each firstreference voltage portion 3 a. The voltage value ofpower storage cell 1 a output fromdecimation filter 7 is corrected by using the stored correction data. - Here, in voltage measurement using the ADC, one of the most important factors for obtaining high measurement accuracy is the accuracy of a reference voltage used as a criterion for an AD conversion operation. For example, in a case of a lithium ion battery, in order to accurately understand deterioration in a cell, it is necessary to detect a fine voltage reduction of, for example, about 3 to 10 mV from a normal voltage, for example, 3.4 V. Thus, a reference voltage for the ADC requires a highly accurate absolute voltage criterion having the accuracy of 2 to 10 ppm/° C. in terms of temperature stability and 0.02 to 0.1% in terms of absolute voltage error.
- However, such a configuration of supplying a highly accurate reference voltage is realized by a band gap circuit, a zener diode, or the like, and thus occupies a large circuit area. Trimming is necessary during shipment inspection. Thus, for example, in the configuration illustrated in
FIG. 1 , if a constituent element supplying a highly accurate reference voltage, such as secondreference voltage portion 6, is provided for each of the plurality offirst ADCs 2 a, a circuit area is considerably increased. Trimming is necessary for each of the constituent elements supplying a highly accurate reference voltage during shipment inspection, and thus a large number of work steps are necessary during shipment. - In contrast, according to the configuration of the present exemplary embodiment, even if the accuracy of reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− supplied by first
reference voltage portion 3 a is not necessarily high, a correction process is performed on a voltage ofpower storage cell 1 a on the basis of highly accurate reference potentials VRX+ and VRX−, and thus it is possible to acquire a highly accurate value. Consequently, for example, a simple configuration illustrated inFIG. 2 can be employed in firstreference voltage portion 3 a, and thus it is possible to prevent an increase in a circuit area or the number of work steps during shipment. -
FIG. 4 is a timing chart illustrating an example of an operation of the power storage cell control device according to the present exemplary embodiment. InFIG. 4 , VC0 to VC15 indicate voltages of respective power storage cells C0 to C15, and are measured byADC group 2. I0 indicates a current flowing throughpower storage module 1, and is measured byammeter 9. VR0 to VR15 indicate reference voltages for respectivefirst ADCs 2 a, and are measured bysecond ADC 5. - In the operation illustrated in
FIG. 4 , voltages VC0 to VC15 of respective power storage cells C0 to C15 and current I0 inpower storage module 1 are measured in a cycle of, for example, 20 μs. Voltages VC0 to VC15 are corrected bycalibration circuit 8. On the other hand, reference voltages VR0 to VR15 forfirst ADCs 2 a are selected bymultiplexer 4 in a cycle of, for example, 40 μs in a predetermined order, so as to be measured.Multiplexer 4 repeatedly performs this selection operation.Calibration circuit 8 updates correction data in the measurement cycle of reference voltages VR0 to VR15 forfirst ADCs 2 a. Thereafter, voltages VC0 to VC15 are corrected on the basis of updated correction data. - Here, in order to perform highly accurate correction, measurement of reference voltages VR0 to VR15 is required to be performed in a cycle which is sufficiently shorter than a period of time in which reference voltages VR0 to VR15 change due to the influence of an environmental temperature or the like. However, the change in an environmental temperature is smooth relative to the measurement cycle of voltages of power storage cells C0 to C15, and reference voltages VR0 to VR15 do not change suddenly. Reference voltages VR0 to VR15 is DC voltages with less disturbance noise unlike voltages of
power storage cells 1 a. Thus, it is possible to measure reference voltages VR0 to VR15 for a sufficient time by reducing a cyclic rate ofmultiplexer 4. Consequently, for example,second ADC 5 has a high over-sampling rate, and thus it is possible to realize high resolution measurement. - As mentioned above, according to the present exemplary embodiment, reference potentials VRn+ and VRn− for
first ADC 2 a having a voltage ofpower storage cell 1 a as an input are measured bysecond ADC 5 which performs a conversion operation by using highly accurate reference potentials VRX+ and VRX− as a criterion.Decimation filter 7 generates a voltage value ofpower storage cell 1 a on the basis of first digital signal S1 output fromfirst ADC 2 a, andcalibration circuit 8 corrects the voltage value by using correction data obtained from second digital signal S2 output fromsecond ADC 5. Consequently, voltages ofpower storage cells 1 a can be measured with the accuracy of highly accurate reference potentials VRX+ and VRX−, and thus it is possible to minimize an error between voltage values ofpower storage cells 1 a. - According to the present exemplary embodiment, a plurality of
first ADCs 2 a are provided to respectively correspond topower storage cells 1 a, and are operated in synchronization with the common clock signal, and thus it is possible to measure voltages of respectivepower storage cells 1 a at the same timing. Consequently, it is possible to measure a highly accurate SOC, SOH, or the like. - According to the present exemplary embodiment, since a measured value of a voltage of
power storage cell 1 a is corrected to the accuracy of highly accurate reference potentials VRX+ and VRX− bycalibration circuit 8, firstreference voltage portion 3 a can be formed of a relatively simple circuit. A circuit supplying a highly accurate absolute voltage criterion may be provided as firstreference voltage portion 3 a in the same manner as secondreference voltage portion 6, but, in this case, a circuit area increases, and the number of trimming steps also considerably increases during shipment inspection. In other words, according to the present exemplary embodiment, it is possible to measure a voltage of eachpower storage cell 1 a with high accuracy while reducing a circuit area or the number of trimming steps. - Here, a supplementary description will be made of usefulness of an on-vehicle application in the present exemplary embodiment.
- As described in Background Art, it is important to understand an SOC or an SOH of a power storage cell with high accuracy with respect to a power storage module. For example, an output power value, that is, a state of power (SOP) which is extracted from the power storage module can be obtained on the basis of an acquired SOC or SOH.
- On the other hand, the SOC has a linear correlation with an open voltage called an open circuit voltage (OCV), that is, a cell stable voltage in a state in which a current does not flow. Thus, if the OCV can be detected, the SOC can be relatively easily obtained.
- However, there is little chance to obtain the OCV in an on-vehicle power storage module. In other words, when a vehicle is traveling, discharging during motor driving and regeneration during braking are repeatedly performed, and, in a hybrid car, charging is performed by an alternator even during temporary stop, and thus a current substantially normally flows through the power storage module. Even in parking, there is a case where time of several tens of hours or more is required until the influence of polarization added during traveling is removed, and a cell voltage converges on a voltage value regarded as the OCV. There are many cases where rebalancing between power storage cells connected in series is performed even in parking, and a current flows through the power storage cells during rebalancing.
- In the power storage cell control device according to the present exemplary embodiment, a current flowing through the power storage module and a voltage of the power storage cell can be measured at the same timing, and thus the SOC can be computed on the basis of values thereof. Therefore, it is possible to understand a highly accurate SOC even with respect to a power storage module for an on-vehicle apparatus in which it is hard to obtain an OCV.
- First
reference voltage portion 3 a may supply a power supply voltage and a ground voltage (GND voltage) to correspondingfirst ADC 2 a as reference potentials VRn+ and VRn−.FIG. 5 illustrates another circuit configuration example offirst ADC 2 a and a periphery thereof, and illustrates a configuration in which a power supply voltage and a GND voltage forfirst ADC 2 a are also used as reference potentials VRn+ and VRn−. In the following drawings, a repeated description of the substantially same portions as inFIGS. 1 and 2 will be omitted in some cases. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , currents obtained as results of distribution usingcurrent mirror circuit 33 flow throughfirst reference resistors 31, and thus a power supply voltage (reference potential VRn+) and a GND voltage (=reference potential VRn−) forfirst ADC 2 a so as to be supplied tofirst ADC 2 a.Multiplexer 4 supplies the power supply voltage and the GND voltage forfirst ADC 2 a tosecond ADC 5 as inputs. -
FIG. 6 illustrates a configuration example of a power storage module management system including the power storage cell control device illustrated inFIG. 1 . In the system configuration illustrated inFIG. 6 ,ADC group 2, referencevoltage portion group 3,multiplexer 4,second ADC 5, secondreference voltage portion 6,decimation filter 7,calibration circuit 8, and the like are mounted on single semiconductor device 11.Calculator 40 performs calculation of obtaining, for example, an SOC or an SOH on the basis of voltage value Dvc output from semiconductor device 11 and current value Di0 obtained fromammeter 9. - In the above-described present exemplary embodiment, a delta-sigma type ADC is employed as
first ADC 2 a. In a case of the present exemplary embodiment, since continuous conversion operations can be performed, a high over-sampling rate can be taken, and a specification required for an anti-aliasing filter can be lowered by reducing the order of a delta-sigma modulator to be used. Since a PDM signal of 1 bit or a plurality of bits is output, the number of digital signal up todecimation filter 7 in the subsequent stage can be reduced, and thus the number oflevel shifters 12 required for connection can be reduced. - ADCs of types other than the delta-sigma type may be used as
first ADC 2 a. For example, in a case where an incremental type ADC is used, it is possible to achieve the same effect as in the delta-sigma type. For example, a successive approximation register (SAR; successive comparison) type ADC, a cyclic type ADC, and a slope type ADC may be used. -
FIG. 7 illustrates another configuration example of the power storage cell control device according to the exemplary embodiment, and a SAR type ADC is used asfirst ADC 2 b formingADC group 2A. Instead ofdecimation filter 7, serial-parallel conversion circuit 7A having digital signal S1A output fromADC 2 b as an input is provided as a voltage value acquirer. In the SAR type ADC, a digital value of an output signal is directly serially output, and thus the number oflevel shifters 12 required for connection to the subsequent stage can be reduced. The same effect can also be achieved in a cyclic type ADC or a slope type ADC. - In the present exemplary embodiment,
first ADC power storage cell 1 a inpower storage module 1, but any other configuration may be employed. In other words, the present exemplary embodiment may be applied to some ofpower storage cells 1 a ofpower storage module 1. - The power storage cell control device according to the present disclosure can measure voltages of a plurality of power storage cells in a power storage module at the same timing with high accuracy without increasing a circuit scale or the number of work steps during shipment, and is thus useful for reducing cost of, for example, an on-vehicle battery management system or improving accuracy.
